Age spots and sun spots are a common reason patients visit Dr. Uskov’s clinic. Laser treatment helps quickly and safely restore an even tone and a younger look to the skin of the hands.
A problem people rarely talk about
Even with regular care, the skin on the hands suffers from sun exposure, daily factors, and natural aging. Over time, pigment spots appear—the very “signs of age” that are hard to hide.
For many patients this becomes a source of psychological discomfort. They want their hands to look as youthful as their face. Laser treatment helps restore an even tone and a sense of confidence.
Why laser removal
Laser removal is a globally recognized method for treating hyperpigmentation. It combines precision, safety, and a pronounced rejuvenating effect.
Advantages of laser treatment:
• Targeted action: energy is directed only at cells that contain excess melanin.
• Minimal trauma: healthy tissues are not affected.
• Versatility: suitable for sun spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory spots.
• Rejuvenating effect: stimulates skin renewal and collagen production.
Treatment protocol at Dr. Uskov’s clinic
Step 1: Diagnostics
Treatment always begins with diagnostics. The doctor performs an in-person examination, digital dermatoscopy, and a Wood’s lamp assessment. These methods help determine the depth and type of pigment and select optimal laser settings for safe and effective removal.
Step 2: The procedure
In most cases one session is sufficient for complete removal of spots. If pigmentation is deep or widespread, 2–3 sessions are performed at 3–4 week intervals. The procedure is comfortable. Patients usually feel a tingling sensation.
Step 3: Maintenance therapy
After laser treatment, photoprotective creams are prescribed and, if needed, products that regulate melanin production. This helps consolidate the result and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Step 4: Recovery period
After the procedure the skin may be slightly pink or sensitive for a few days (up to several weeks with stronger protocols). It is recommended to avoid sun exposure, use high-SPF creams, and care for the skin gently. Full recovery usually takes 3–5 days.
What affects the result
The outcome depends on the depth and intensity of pigmentation, age and skin condition, individual regenerative capacity, and adherence to aftercare recommendations. An individualized approach allows for the most stable and natural-looking result.

Modern IPL devices, Q-switched lasers, and picosecond lasers have made the procedure precise, safe, and controllable, virtually eliminating the risk of scarring and complications.
